Had my interview today, passed. Oath next week on March 5th.
Reached the Tukwila office at 1:45pm for my 2pm interview, there was huge crowd as they had a Oath ceremony, I was bit worried that I will be delayed, but they did gave priority for people with letters, was asked to goto 2nd floor for interview.
There was two big waiting area on either side of stairs, can wait both side. The interviewers keep popping through door on either side, so you have to pay attention and listen to calls. I was expecting long wait, but within 10 mins was called in.
First was swearing that I will tell the truth. The officier went through my N-400, asked my name, address, went through questions on the N400, asking me details. I mentioned my traffic violation, she asked about it (as it says citation), mentioned it is a traffic ticket, she asked about arrest history, affiliations, looked at my birth certificate copy, my middle name, last name. She asked if I have passport copy, luckily I had taken copy of first & last page, provided to her. Once all these checked out went to interview questions.
Questions she asked were 1) what are the colors of flag 2) Who was the president during civil war 3) What year the constitution was written 4) Who is the current president 5) Who takes over if presidency if president & vice president cannot perform their job 6) Who is the first president of US (forgot couple of questions, but they were all simple).
Then she asked me to read an english statement written on a paper, asked me to write a sentence.
Then she said I passed, congratulated me. I thanked her, checked to make sure my name, DOB, address are correct in her printed sheet. Asked me to print name in a sheet in 3 places, asked me to sign 3 photos (that was sent with N400 app). Then she said my oath is on March 5th, Thu, I was very surprised and happy that it is only one more week.
The whole thing took 20 mins and I was out. I had tax transcripts, selective services letter and many more docs, but none was asked for. It was pleasantly a breeze.
Good luck to rest of you all, things seem to be moving faster now.
